[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi Folks , had a bit of a rough one this morning , saw lots , photographs ? well not so great :-(

so I am settling on this mallard that I got a few days ago. though it caught a bit of glare on its back , I was still fairly happy with it. I am not sure where the female has gotten to , I have not seen her in the last week , hopefully there are ducklings involved :-)

as for today , I guess win some lose some. I did get to see some neat things though , so that makes the walk worth while.

Regards

Art

Hi Art,
this is a very good dull light shot of this drake with nice colour and that metallic sheen of his head is an excellent detail.The focus is sharp and clear and this weekend should be good for light if the forecast holds true.Thanks for this view and sure he is common but every shot is a welcome shot and is unique in of itself.Art you are developing your own style and if you look at the many photos on this site you can after a time recognize other photographers style without even seeing their names,some are just that distinctive. Bob

Hi Art,a common bird but taken very very perfectly,the colours and the reflection of the face are fantastics,impressive sharpness and great details,my best compliments,Luciano
